Afternoon. I tried searching this topic and only found very outdated posts, so I wanted to put the question out there once again and get some feedback from you all.

What are you using as a website service? What are the pro's and con's for your provider? What does it cost you? How user friendly is the provider?

I don't want to use Fake-book as a method of advertising our Squadron or means of communicating with the Cadets and Parents. I would like to find some inexpensive ways to have a nice looking, well functioning website without costing too much, if any money at all.

... has the advantage of not going *poof* when "Jack decides he doesn't want to play CAP anymore."

I guess thats me. LOL

I built and maintain ours for free, using the CAP Wordpress template with modifications. I host it for free on my dedicated servers along with a few hundred other websites I host.

NO CONNECTIONS or LINKS to eServices or WMIRS, etc. So no opsec issues. Its simply a marketing brochure type site. No internal uses at all. Its for recruiting. Averages about 1000 visits a month, which I think is good for our size and considering its all outsiders looking in.

But yes, its a Wordpress website, that can be easily exported and moved elsewhere if I were to croak. If I quit CAP, I'd still let the Squadron run the website on my server for free.
